@ragyare describes the importance of exploring different ways of engaging girls and young women, including via WhatsApp, adding: It isn't just a one-time engagement. When you are working with a girl, you can't leave her in isolation. You are working with her for a lifetime as she keeps growing and discovering herself.

@SoniaA4AI: We need to have robust data to show what the reality is, and whatever solutions we come up with have to make sense in people's lives. Women have to be comfortable using those solutions.

@SoniaA4AI: Never make the assumption that technology is gender neutral. Use data to understand the realities. Make sure your designs are focused on solving real-life problems.

@amroteab: Get closer to the data, closer to the ground. Don't presume that one technology will solve for all problems. Bring in the right people and lead with data to make the right decisions about your investments.

@ragyare: When helping women gain online access or create online content, the next question to ask is: How can this woman bring economic empowerment to her family and achieve dignified work? For entrepreneurs, be intentional and innovative about the problem you're trying to solve.
